AS467

AS467 is a legacy autonomous system number registered under ARIN to Air Force Systems Networking, part of the U.S. Department of the Air Force / DoD, with administrative and abuse contact now handled by DISA (Defense Information Systems Agency) Columbus. The ASN sits inside a large contiguous ARIN-registered block spanning AS379–AS508, named AFCONC-BLOCK1-AS, whose top-level RDAP registration event dates to 1989-08-04 — this is the first-party RIR allocation date that applies to AS467, not a database artifact. Unlike a commercial ISP, AS467 has no dedicated operator website, no PeeringDB network record, and no public peering-policy page; it is purely DoD administrative infrastructure. Every routing source consulted (RIPEstat, CAIDA AS Rank, bgp.he.net) agrees AS467 currently announces a single IPv4 prefix, 199.124.116.0/23 (512 addresses), and no IPv6 space. Its only observed BGP relationship is a single upstream/provider, AS27065 (U.S. DoD Network Information Center / NIPRNet), consistent with a closed, government-internal peering arrangement rather than an open commercial policy. Historically the ASN also announced 151.166.0.0/16, first seen in BGP on 2000-08-18, before consolidating to its current /23 footprint. CAIDA ranks it 54,406 globally with a singleton customer cone (itself, 1 prefix, 512 addresses) and an AS-degree of exactly one provider relationship, zero peers, zero customers — a textbook non-transit stub AS. No notable public abuse signal was found across Spamhaus, AbuseIPDB, and CleanTalk as of 2026-07-09, consistent with a small, quiet U.S. military network rather than a hosting or eyeball ISP of the type that typically surfaces in abuse feeds.

Operator

Air Force Systems Networking (U.S. Department of the Air Force / DoD); ARIN org handle 7ESG; administrative/abuse contact now DISA Columbus (disa.columbus.ns.mbx.arin-registrations@mail.mil) [Confirmed] — https://rdap.arin.net/registry/autnum/467

Allocated

1989-08-04 (ARIN RDAP autnum top-level registration event for the AS379–AS508 block record, AFCONC-BLOCK1-AS, which AS467 falls inside); last changed 2008-06-06. Corroborated independently by three research angles (A2, A3, A4) reading the same top-level events[]; nested entity-level dates (org 7ESG: 2008-06-05, REGIS10-ARIN: 2009-06-24) were correctly excluded as decoys, and a third-party aggregator's 2008-06-05 date is a scrape artifact, not the ARIN-published value

Security/abuse context (NEUTRAL, DATED)

no notable public abuse signal found as of 2026-07-09 across Spamhaus, AbuseIPDB, and CleanTalk ASN lists; consistent with a small, non-transit government stub AS rather than a hosting/eyeball network

Network & routing

Network type

U.S. military/government stub AS (DoD network infrastructure), not a commercial transit/access/content ISP; no PeeringDB record exists [Confirmed] — https://bgp.he.net/AS467, https://www.peeringdb.com/api/net?asn=467

Size

announces 1 IPv4 prefix / 512 addresses (199.124.116.0/23); 0 IPv6 prefixes; customer cone = 1 ASN (itself), 1 prefix, 512 addresses [Confirmed] — https://stat.ripe.net/AS467, https://asrank.caida.org/asns/467

Routing/peering

seen by 325/326 RIS peers (v4), 0/321 (v6, no IPv6 announced); CAIDA AS-degree total=1 (customer 0, peer 0, provider 1); sole observed relationship is upstream AS27065 (DoD Network Information Center); no published peering policy — closed/DoD-internal by inference [Confirmed for counts; Likely for "closed policy" characterization] — https://bgp.he.net/AS467, https://asrank.caida.org/asns/467

RPKI

not assessed this pass — the RIPEstat rpki-validation tool requires an explicit prefix argument, which was not supplied; no ROA/validation state can be reported [Unknown] — n/a

Analyst note

A DoD/Air Force administrative stub ASN inside a large legacy ARIN block; allocated_date corroborated by three independent research angles reading the same first-party RDAP registration event (1989-08-04) — this is recorded, not nulled, per the RIR-registry-fact rule.
